One in Five ‘Best Doctors’ are on Faculty at UH Manoa’s Medical School

BY TINA SHELTON – One in five of the physicians featured in the June 2010 “Best Doctors in Hawai‘i” issue of Honolulu Magazine is a member of the faculty of the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM).

In addition, research by the medical school has established that half of the practicing physicians in Hawai‘i are graduates of either JABSOM or the medical school’s Hawai‘i Residency Programs, which trains physicians in 16 different specialties.

Honolulu Magazine issues a “Best Doctors in Hawai‘i” issue every two years. Its list is researched by Best Doctors in America, which surveys physicians nationwide asking who they would refer patients to in different specialties.

The list of physician-faculty chosen, divided by specialties identified by Honolulu Magazine, is below.

The 2010 Hawai‘i Health Workforce Assessment by JABSOM found the state has about 2,900 practicing physicians. Honolulu Magazine honored a total of 325 physicians on June 10 in an event at the Kahala Hotel and Resort.
